(RobinsonHarburg)

My seed is sown now, my field is plowed;

My flesh is bone now, my back is bowed.



[Refrain:]

So hurry, sundown, be on your way,

And hurry me a sun-up from this beat-up sundown day.

Hurry down, sundown, be on your way;

Weave me tomorrow out of today.



Tomorrow's breeze now, blows clear and loud;

I'm off my knees now, I'm standing proud.



[Refrain]



My sorrow's song, now, just must break through,

That brave new dawn, now, long overdue.



[Refrain]



Hurry down, sundown, get thee be gone,

Get lost in the sunrise, of a new dawn.

Hurry down, sundown, take the old day,

Wrap it in new dreams, send it my way!

Send it my way!

Send it my way!
